• appointed positions for simulation-related activities such as serving on committees and being a newsletter editor; and
• undertakings and actions that promote simulation in the "larger community".

Nominations for the Distinguished Service Award can be made by anyone and are made by sending a letter of nomination to the chair of the award selection committee. Letters of nomination should identify the nominee's areas of exceptional service, detailing the activities for which the nominee is believed to deserve this award. The nominee's current vita must be included with the nomination letter. The individual or individuals making the nomination have the primary responsibility for justifying why the nominee should receive this award. If given, the award will be presented in December during the opening session of the Winter Simulation Conference.
